Better angels

21/05/2019

Will the 'better angels' of our nature save us? The practice of connecting to the suffering of others, in reality, is what I call being in touch with our' better angels'. If the opposite of love is not hate but indifference, surely the antidote to hate is engagement. The key is simply leaving our comfort zone and call for our 'better angels'. That's specifically making decisions to practice kindness, to fight alienation, and assisting someone in need.
